Tue 30 Apr 2019

Description

Would you like to share your research findings with the international academic community, and use open materials from other researchers, without paywall restrictions?

Would you like to boost citations of your work and increase collaboration?

Did you know that funders recognise the benefits of Open Access and most now require it as a condition of their grants?

These are questions for postgraduate students at all stages of their research.

Research in the 21st century is changing at a rapid pace and it can be hard to keep up with this dynamic and fast-paced environment. There are more pressures on researchers than ever before, including mandates around Open Access and data sharing as well as extra pressure to boost citations to secure the next role.

Join us to explore the essential whys and hows of open research. We'll cover:

everything you need to know about Open Access and data sharing in the humanities, arts and social sciences

how to use the University's Repository, Apollo, to publish your research and gain citations
